Everyone has the right to live life to the full. After a diagnosis of a chest or heart condition, stroke, or Long Covid, many people experience fear and isolation, and struggle with the impact on their lives. The care and support we deliver every day ensures everyone can live the life they want to. Across Scotland, we provide vital advice, information, and support through our No Life Half Lived strategy.
Join our amazing team of Community Support Volunteers, who support people with one or more of our conditions to develop autonomy and confidence in self-management, enabling them to fully engage with their community and activities of their choosing. The service follows a pathway from hospital to community and can be delivered in a one-to-one and/or group setting in person, virtually or via telephone.
Community Support Services provide support for anyone who has had any of the 3 conditions as they leave hospital, return home and resume daily life. The aim of the services is to help people to overcome or cope with the damage caused by their condition so that you can focus on enjoying life again. Service users are supported and helped to relearn or adapt skills so that they can be as independent as possible. We do this through our group services and one-to-one support in the community.
Services range from communication support for people, who are finding it difficult to speak, read, write or understand what other people are saying after suffering a stroke, through to services for people affected in different ways such as problems with movement, vision, memory or thinking. We are here to listen and support to achieve service users personal goals.
